Abstract
We report a case of Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) associated with intracranial involvement and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. A 44-year-old woman was diagnosed as having WG with involvement of an ear, lungs and kidneys. A brain computed tomography scan showed a space-occupying lesion with a ring-like enhancement in the left temporal lobe. Findings on a brain MRI, different from those characteristic of a brain abscess, supported an intracerebral granulomatous inflammation due to WG. Immunosuppression, which included corticosteroids, was an effective treatment.
